Unblocking creativity

I’ve been taking a great course at the Writer’s Ctre based on the book by Julia Cameron called “The Artist’s Way”. The idea is to do various things and try different tools that will help to open up creativity. There are 6 women taking the course and we’re really enjoying hearing each other’s perspectives. Darold and I are both doing what Cameron calls “morning pages” - 3 handwritten, private pages (of whatever comes to mind) that you do first thing in the morning before you have a chance to think about or get going on anything else. This, I think is one of the most crucial parts of the process and one where you start to feel a little difference in your life right away. It kind of makes you feel more like you are steering your ship rather than it just going any which way. I’ll keep you posted as to the outcome after the course is finished; I know there will be a somewhat different Cathy on the other side.
